Scale for Interpersonal Behavior (SIB), Shyness Scale, Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (BFNE) and a demographic information form were used to gather data. Multiple regression analysis was performed to test the proposed model of the study. Tested model was significant, while shyness was found as a significant negative predictor of assertiveness, fear of negative evaluation did not reveal as a significant predictor. Also, results displayed a significant relationship between assertiveness and both gender and grade level of the students. The findings were discussed in the light of the related literature.
